1．狼和小羊

2. THE WOLF AND THE LAMBA Wolf meeting with a Lamb astray from the

fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea,

which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus

addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed,"

bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born."

Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小

羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼！你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可

怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃

过草。」

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again

said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I

never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and

drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying,

"Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one

of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his

tyranny.

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝

过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，

我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好！

即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的！」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

2. THE ASS AND THE GRASSHOPPERAn

Ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted;

and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort

of food they lived on, to give them such beautiful voices. They replied,

"The dew." The Ass resolved that he would only live upon dew, and in

a short time died of hunger.

3．驴和蚱蜢

一只驴听到几只蚱蜢在叫，便觉得很有趣；于是也想得到同样有趣的音调，

便问蚱蜢吃什么东西过活，以致于能有这样优美的声音。蚱蜢说：「露水。」

驴子听了，从此以后也单吃露水过活，不久便饿死了。

4. THE WOLF AND THE CRANEA

Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a large

sum, to put her head into his throat, and draw out the bone. When the

Crane had extracted the bone, and demanded the promised payment, the

Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have

surely already a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to

draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."

5．狼和鹳雀

一只狼喉咙鲠了一根骨头，便用很多钱去雇请一只鹳雀，将头伸进他的喉咙

中，把那块骨头取出来。当鹳雀拔出那块骨头，向他索取约定的报酬，狼却

呲牙咧齿地说：「怎么？允许你的头从一只狼的嘴巴和牙床中安全地伸出来，

已经是莫大的报酬了。」为恶人效劳，不要希望得到报酬；要是能避免伤害，

已经是万幸了。

6. THE FATHER AND HIS SONSA

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among

themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations,

he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of

disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a

bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into

the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break

it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not

able to do it.

7．父亲和孩子们

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，

只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫

他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一

个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by

one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them

easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are

of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot,

uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided

among yourselves, you will be broken as

easily as these sticks."

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地

折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮

助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行分裂，

你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。」

The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼( y# J: ], L) b% o) p- T)1 h

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the

enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨 鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼 住，他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老 鼠，又被放了。这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。 P3V1& % w9YThe Ass and the Grasshopper 驴子与蚱蜢

AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, \"The dew.\" The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger. $ ~ G5 Q, t6 T. l% r

F+ L3 . c, [0 _* W' E' R

驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙动听的歌声所打动，自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音，便 羡慕地问他们吃些什么，才能发出如此美妙的声音来。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水。”驴子便也只吃露水，没多久就饿死了。这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物。

The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠

A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: \"If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.\" The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:

\"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion.\"

狮子睡着了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来，把他抓住，准备吃掉。老鼠请 求饶命，并说如果保住性命，必将报恩，狮子轻蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，狮子真 的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获，并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎，走过去咬断绳索，放走了狮子，并说： “你当时嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的报答， 现在可清楚了，老鼠也能报恩。” 这故事说明，时运交替变更，强者也会有需要弱者的时候。

The Cock and the Jewel公鸡和宝玉

A COCK, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a precious

stone and exclaimed: "If your owner had found thee, and not I, he would have taken thee up, and have set thee in thy firstestate; but I have found thee for no purpose. I would rather haveone barleycorn than all the jewels in the world."

一只公鸡在田野里为自己和母鸡们寻找食物。他发现了一块宝玉，便对宝玉说：“若不 是我，而是你的主人找到了你，他会非常珍惜地把你捡起来；但我发现了你却毫无用处。我 与其得到世界上一切宝玉，倒不如得到一颗麦子好。”这是说自己需要的东西才是真正珍贵的。

The Kingdom of the Lion狮子国王

THE BEASTS of the field and forest had a Lion as their king. He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, "Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong." And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.

有只狮子做了国王，他善良、温和，与人一样和平、公正。在他的统治下，惩恶扬善， 裁决动物之间的纠纷，使所有的动物和睦相处。胆小的兔子说：“我祈祷能得到这样的日 子，那时弱者就不怕被强者伤害了。” 然后赶紧逃命去了。

The Ants and the Grasshopper蚂蚁与蚱蜢

THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' He replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing." They then said in derision: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."

冬季，蚂蚁正忙着把潮湿的谷子晒干。饥饿的蚱蜢跑来，向他们乞讨食物。蚂蚁问他： “你为什么在夏天不去收集食物呢？” 蚱蜢回答说：“那时没有时间，我忙于唱美妙动听的 歌。”蚂蚁嘲笑说：“你夏季如要唱歌，那么冬季就去跳舞吧。”这故事说明，要不失时机 地工作、劳动，才能丰衣足食；如果一味玩乐，只能挨饿。

The Dog and the Shadow狗和自已的影子

A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a

篇二：英语寓言故事

一、A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold,the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him!

一只小鸟飞往南方去过冬,天气实在太冷了,这只小鸟被冻僵了。掉到了一块田地里。当它僵硬地躺在那里,一头牛走了过来,拉了一堆牛粪在它身上。冻僵的小鸟躺在这堆牛粪里,便开始有了意识,渐渐的意识到躺在那里有多暖和。这堆牛粪的确令它苏醒过来,它躺在上面又暖和又快乐,一会儿便欢乐的唱起歌来。一只路过的猫听到鸟的歌声便过来探个究竟,寻声而来,猫发现了在这堆牛粪下的小鸟,便很快将它挖出来吃掉了。

该篇故事的寓意是:

1)不是所有说你坏话的人都是你的敌人。(不是所有往你身上拉牛粪的人都是你的敌人)

2)不是所有帮你解围的人都是你的朋友。(不是所有将你从牛粪里拉出来的人都是你的朋友)

3)在你还没有完全摆脱困境时,别得意忘形。(当你还没有从粪堆里出来时,把嘴闭上)

二、An ox, grazing in a swampy meadow, chanced to set his foot among a parcel of young frogs, and crushed nearly the whole brood to death .One that escaped ran off to his mother with the dreadful news."and ,oh ,mother !"said he ,"it was a beast -such a big four footed beast!-that did it .""Big?" quoth the old frog , "How big? Was it as big" -- and she puffed herself out to a great degree-"as big as this ?""oh!"said the little one ,"a great deal bigger than that .""well, was it so big ?"and she swelled herself out yet mere ."Indeed ,mother ,but it was ,and of you were to burst yourself you would never reach half its size."provoked at such a disparagement of her powers, the old frog made one more trial ,and burst herself indeed.

So men are ruined by attempting greatness to which they have no claim.

译文:

一头牛在一快泥泞的草地上吃草,偶然把脚踏在一堆小青蛙当中,几乎把所有的幼蛙踩死。脱险的一个带着这可怕的消息跑到他母亲那里去了。"啊,母亲!"他说"是一只野兽-那样一只有四只脚的大野兽-踩的。""大吗?"老青蛙说。"多大?"她股足了气把自己胀得大大的说:"他像这样的吗?""啊!"小青蛙说,"比那大多了。""哦,有这么大吗?"她鼓着气胀地更大了。"真的,母亲,但确实如此,即使你胀破了自己,也不够他一半大。"老青蛙看到自己的力气受到轻视很是激怒,于是又鼓了一下气,果然这次胀破了自己。

妄自尊大的人必将自取灭亡的。

三、Hercules and the Wagoner

A carter was driving a wagon along a country lane, when the wheels sank down deep into a rut. The rustic driver, stupefied and aghast, stood looking at the wagon, and did nothing but utter loud cries to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed him: "Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man. Goad on your bullocks, and never more pray to me for help, until you have done your best to help yourself, or depend upon it you will henceforth pray in vain."

一名车夫赶着货车沿着乡间小路行进。途中车轮陷入了很深的车辙中,再也无法前进。这时,愚蠢的车夫吓得茫然失措,一筹莫展,痴呆呆地站在那里,凝视着货车,不断地高声喊叫,求大

力神来助他一把。大力神来到后,对他说:“朋友,用你的肩膀扛起车轮,再抽 打拉车的马。你自己不自力更生,尽力解决,仅靠祈求我,怎么行呢?”

寓言告诉我们:

自力更生,自助自立是克服困难的最好办法。

四、The Charcoal-Burner and the Fuller

A Charcoal-Burner carried on his trade in his own house. One day he met a friend, a Fuller, and entreated him to come and live with him, saying that they should be far better neighbors and that their housekeeping expenses would be lessened. The Fuller replied, "The arrangement is impossible as far as I am concerned, for whatever I should whiten, you would immediately blacken again with your charcoal."

烧炭人在一所房子里干活,看见有一个漂布人搬迁到他的旁边来住时,满怀高兴地走上 去劝他与自己同住,并解释说这样彼此更亲密,更方便,还更省钱。漂布人却回答说:“也 许你说的是真话,但完全不可能办到,因为凡我所漂白的,都将被你弄黑。”

这故事说明:

不同类的人难相处。Like will draw like.

五、The Bat and the Weasels

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.
